据天然气加工网站9月4日报道 加拿大主要的生产省阿尔伯塔省希望在不增加排放的情况下，利用氢气为油砂的扩张提供燃料。总理特鲁多承诺采取有力行动应对气候变化。

阿尔伯塔省天然气部副部长纳利在接受路透社采访时表示，阿尔伯塔省将不迟于10月宣布一项战略，开发氢能作为一种更清洁的替代方案，以取代在蒸汽驱动油砂开采原油。

戴尔纳利表示，采用更清洁的原料将使阿尔伯塔省在不超过其每年1亿吨的省级碳排放限额的情况下生产更多的。

他说：“氢能将使我们能够继续推动燃料变革，降低油砂的碳强度，直到达到传统油砂和油砂在温室气体方面没有差别的程度。阿尔伯塔省的氢计划与渥太华的计划是同步的?！?/span>

“降低油砂的碳强度当然可以让油砂有更多的发展。”

这些氢气从天然气中产生，碳副产品被捕获并储存起来。

一位熟悉联邦计划的政府消息人士称，特鲁多将于本月启动一项绿色议程，预计将为2050年的零排放目标制定路线，并可能包括一项战略，将氢描述为石油行业的“净零登月计划”。

Canada has big plans to use hydrogen to cut emissions

Canada's main crude-producing province Alberta looks to use hydrogen to fuel expansion of its oil sands without increasing emissions, even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promises strong action against climate change, officials with the two governments said.

Alberta will announce no later than October a strategy to develop "blue hydrogen" as a cleaner alternative to using natural gas to extract crude at steam-driven oil sands sites, Associate Minister of Natural Gas Dale Nally told Reuters in an interview.

Deploying cleaner feedstock will allow Alberta to produce more oil without exceeding its 100 megaton annual limit on provincial carbon emissions, Nally said.

"Hydrogen will allow us to continue to move the bar and reduce the carbon intensity of the oil sands until you get to a point where there is no difference in (greenhouse gases) in conventional oil and oil sands," he said, adding that Alberta's hydrogen plan is synchronized with Ottawa's.

"Reducing the carbon intensity of the oil sands would allow of course more expansion."

Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas, with the carbon byproduct captured and stored.

A green agenda to be launched by Trudeau this month is expected to map out a course to the 2050 zero-emissions target, and likely to include a strategy describing hydrogen as a "net-zero moon shot" for the petroleum sector, said a government source familiar with the federal plan.
